I got my toe wet!

I got my toe wet, so to speak. Instead of my whole foot. Just my toe.
As I dropped Miranda off to pre-school on Friday the program director asked me if I was available to teach. I took the plunge, well just my toe and said yes. I went back and helped Miranda's class because the aid had to leave. Thank goodness her teacher was still there. I haven't been in a classroom in 4 years. What was even scarier is that I've never worked with pre-schoolers, except my own of course. But that's different. Boy, what an afternoon. So much redirecting, and then all the whining and tattling and redirecting and more redirecting. It can be tiring redirecting your own child all day but how about when there are 13 of them. Needless to say I was beat. Today taught me that I am not ready to take the plunge. I'll stick with my toe being wet and that's all. I won't be able to work with preschoolers like I thought. What a different world. Much different than elementary school. God bless you Melissa for what you do everyday! I'm off to search for new avenues. Ones where I can take the plunge!
